‘Wisdom’ from spam

I make it a habit to check the mail that goes into the “Spam” folder, just in case some genuinely important mail got mistakenly moved there. Today, I clicked randomly on one of them, and this was what I found:

Funny stats

(Full size, 1029 x 834)
MangoOrange got dugg, and I got some (in the blog author sense) too. Not the digg effect, but instead, the digg side effect. Hence creating the wacky stats you see above. 71 hits from his site alone yesterday—I’ve never gotten that much on my own!
Anyway, congratulations to MangoOrange!

Haven’t you heard? HIV doesn’t cause AIDS

This 2-hour documentary exposes the myths surrounding AIDS (primarily, that AIDS is not caused by HIV), the failings of the ongoing battle against AIDS, and the vile deception that has been perpetrated for so long about it.

(Watch on Google Video)
It’s appalling to learn that politicians as well as scientists have been lying to defend [...]

Kian ramai Melayu kacukan?

Alangkah terkejutnya saya apabila menonton siaran Suria baru-baru ini. Peserta-peserta peringkat akhir Anugerah 2007 telah mendendangkan sebuah lagu dalam sebuah klip video. Saya tidak pasti akan judul lagunya.
Yang saya perhatikan, lima dari keenam-enam para peserta itu mempunyai rambut yang tidak hitam; rambut mereka keperangan.
Setahu saya, orang yang dipanggil Melayu itu, rambutnya hitam. Warna rambut orang [...]

Ghai-ril maghdubi ‘alayhim
Walad dal-leen

I know, I’m slow. Just got it from this book I’m hooked on: Understanding the Qur’an: Themes and Styles by Muhammad Abdel Haleem.

Go get it.

Osama writes

Osama writes to America (emphasis added):
(vii) You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.
Pretty much in line with what I have [...]

For your joyous amusement

History of Oil

Everyone must watch this! (UPDATE: I’ve watched it 3 times and still find it funny!)
Robert Newman’s History of Oil (45 mins)

Totally hilarious stuff, but with a serious message at the end about the state of our world’s energy source — oil. Robert is extremely witty! I especially loved his impersonation of Tony Blair. I [...]

Killing Us Softly 3

UPDATE (10 Nov 07): I see that many of you reached here from an email page. Just curious: why?
“Killing Us Softly 3: Advertising’s Image of Women” by Jean Kilbourne

An eye-opening presentation on how women are featured in advertising. The words that come to mind are “pervasive”, and then “normalisation”. Indeed, the practice of advertising [...]
